I don't sit in the corner waiting for death: death has to pursue me. I'm going strong. I hope to reach 100 and ask for an extension, just like my grandmother did.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My grandma passed away at 98 1/2 and I want to live to 100. I want to be able to do what I can do even at 100.
I hope to live to 100. There is so much to do.
I just feel like I can live on. I hope I can reach 100. I think today if you just keep doing, keep working, that - maybe that's possible.
I think anyone who wants to live past 100 can do it.
So far things are going my way. I am known in the hospice as The Man Who Wouldn't Die. I don't know if this is true or not, but I think some people, not many, are starting to wonder why I'm still around.
Don't lie - when you are 105 years of age - on your deathbed, thinking, 'I should have done a few things!' I would like to think I tried as much as I could.
I'm not afraid of turning 80 and I have lots of things to do. I don't have time for dying.
I do absolutely want to be around as long as possible. I tell my son: 'You do realise, I am going to live to 100.'
There will always be something higher for me to reach for, and as long as there is, I'll keep reaching.
What I'm after is not living to 1,000. I'm after letting people avoid death for as long as they want to.
